iZup

A new technology has arrived to increase driving safety by restricting cell phone use behind the wheel. The clever iZUP (i.e. “eyes up”) application, developed by Illume Software, was created to help eliminate distracted driving. Recent legislation banning texting and driving holds the potential for strict fines and possible license suspensions if caught. Applications restricting phone use behind the wheel may be answer for parents and employers and necessary step for the texting-addicts.

iZUP technology includes the following features to aid in reducing distracted driving:

Tamper alert send to an account holder when the user (child or possibly employee) attempts to disable iZUP

Sending notification of 911 call to account holder with a map shoving call location and time

More information about iZUP can be found on the provider’s website: www.getizup.com.

We all know that it is not uncommon to see someone on the their phone while they are driving. Texting, calling, checking updates, you name it. With cell phone technology advancing at a fast rate, it is easy to be distracted by all the features your phone may have access too. As advances have occurred in convenience and accessibility, so have advances in preventive technology. A Massachusetts company has developed iZup software that helps drivers avoid distractions caused by their cell phones.

The mobile application prevents outgoing communication and holds text messages, emails and calls while driving with the exception of 911 and a list of authorized phone numbers. The software activates at 5 miles per hour and does not shut off for red lights or traffic!
